Tho Teleorafh is the journal re

construction advanced by the Savan
nah News may not be accepted. Mr,
Cleveland, the head of the Democratic
party, has found it necessary to call
in to his assistance open and pro
nounced Republicans. Surely Mr.
Randall, the real leader in the House,
may do the same when in his opinion
it becomes necessarr. Depend upon it,
Mr. Randall has had more experience
in public office than President Cleve
land, has near at heart the success of
his party, and aB much discretion in
the use of opportunities and the selec
tion of aids.
In the meantime, we repeat our ad
vice. If Mr. Carlisle has any idea of
patting a tariff bill throngli tho next
Congress, he should call in Mr. Ran

contents of that bill.

This is very different talk from the
Boston speech and it has the further
merit of being strictly true. It the Re

the government again it would do as it
did before—tarn out every Democratic
officeholder. This civil service busi

Senator Plumb is credited with this

that was left by treasury agents, and
overrun by thieves, carpet-baggers, do
velopers and domestic traitors, has
imbibed a horror of taxation that seems
difficult to be thrown off. States that
grow and prosper, that employ intelli
gent and honest public servants, and
that foster and encourage the enterprise
of tho people, must expect to keep their
credit clear and their treasuries in a
condition to meet all demands. In
order to do this, taxes mnat be levied
fairly and equitably, and promptly col
lected.
Georgia tarnishes a case in point.
Notwithstanding tho peoplo for many
years have been nauseated with ful
some praise of the wonderful financial
administration of the State government,
her Legislature Is about to meot with a
treasury so reduced that outstanding
obligations cannot be met, nndjthero Is
doubt even if the money is on hand to
pay tho running expenses of the fcov-
eminent.
Tho obligations of the State ore fixed
and well known to the Legislature.
The property of the State la more than
ample to meot all of these obligations,
and yet the taxes are not laid in a suffi
cient sum to avoid the embarrassment
that is upon us. It appears that In
place of addressing itself to
tho legitimate holiness of tho
session, the Legislature will
be compelled to borrow money from
somebody to pay the per diem of its
members. The constitution forbids on
increase of the bonded debt. It is not
the time or place to argue as to tho
wisdom of this. It Is an accomplished
(act. The general belle! is that prop
erty is valued at a figure far too low,
and the representatives ol the people
have been so debauched and demoral
ized by the miserable ring rule which
has afflicted the State that they have
not had the nerve to do their doty.

Cotton Statement.
The Chronicle's cotton article of Jane
26th famishes the following facte rein
tlve to the movement of the crop for the
pest week:
For the week ending this evening
<Jnne 26), the total receipts have reached
155 bales, sgainst 2,877 bales last week,
,,729 bales tbs previous week and 3,917
balee three weeks since; making the total
receipt* since the let of September, 1881,
4,715,939 bales, against 4,782 641 bates for
the same period of 1883-84, (bowing a de
crease since September 1,1884, of 67,602
bales.
The receipts at *11 the Interior towns for
the week have been 2,804 bales, eince
September 1st, 2,607,870 hales. The re
ceipts at the same towns have been 496
bales less then the same week laet year,
end since September 1st, the receipts at
all the towns are 235,053 bales less than
for the same time in 1884.
Among the interior towns, Macon fa
credited with 48,218 bales tor the season.
Last year the receipts for tbe season were
59,909 bales. These figures show a fall
ing ofi for the season of 11,661 bales.
Tbe receipts since September 1 up to to
night are 50,927 bales less tban they
were at the same day of the month in 1881
end 1,113,848 bales less tban they were to
the same day of the month in 1883.
Tbe exports of cotton from the United
States tbe past week, as per latest mail re
turns, have reached 26,669 bales.

been any decided Irregularity In the flnetue-
ttoni o! tbe present and the coming crop. The
opening on Saturday last wav firmer, hut the
•peculation was dull, and the early advance
was not folly supported; and on Monday there
was a sharp decline, the foreign advices being
discouraging nnd needed rains having fallen
ln Texas. There was a brisk recovery on
Tueedty. without any special Influence to that
end except tbe covering o’ contracts and
speculative manipulation. Wednesday was
weaker, owing to tho failure of Liverpool to
respond to our advance ol Tuesday; yet there
wu no pnstnro to tell, end yesterday, with a
stronger report from Liverpool, there wait
fresh advance though not mnch activity In
buying. To-dty the opening was buoyant nnd
active, la sympathy with Liverpool advices,
hot late tn tho day a new selling movement
caused the early advenes to be lost lor this
crop, ted the next crop closed lower. There
wore free notices lined fos next month's de

If Logan’i utterances are to be taken

For some years past Colonel Snow

To-day there was struck at the mint
two dozen silver dollars, whoso edges

metal grew to larger proportions.
Immediately the whole family was around
It in eager haste to uncover It. The far
ther they cleared the toll away about It
farther it seemed to recede. After work
ing two hoars with growing astonishment
they sew the fuff outline of their prize-
one of tbe largest lamps ot gold ever,
found. That was the luckiest find ever
made.
“The Mount Mollagnt nugget wu found

ring in the vicinity of Mount Molingui,
Victoria, tbat bad mtde a hundred m n

eTery direction, and It was thought that
every grain ot gold In the neighborhood
bad been collected. The crowd that once
made the camp a busy scene ot life dis
solved as quickly ns It had collected,
leaving the shanties to the mercy of
the weather, which soon made them
a picturesque ruin. Oil toward the

to tbe duerted camp and stopped over
night on tbe site ot the old camp. The
slump struck one of them as a singular
feature of tbe old diggings, and bring a
skillful miner, he knew that one pert of a

precious metal as another; It occurred to
him that the ground nnder tha stamp sn*
